cheri02 14 Posted October 5, 2015 Does any one have any suggestions for a good Protein Drink for after surgery? Was just introduced to Tasty whey and Eat The Bear brands at a little store. They didn't have any samples to try. Looking for what has worked for YOU. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Grace2115 27 Posted October 5, 2015 I like chocolate. Right now I have Syntrax Nectar in Chocolate truffle, and vanilla. I use the vanilla and flavor it however I want, by adding pumpkin pie flavored stevia drops. You can also flavor using Torani sugar free syrups (many different flavors!) I first started by ordering samples, which was a lot of fun. Recently I have heard people raving about the Inspire brand Protein Powder, so I just ordered Inspire pumpkin pie Protein powder, because I love anything pumpkin. See photo below from my bariatric pantry.com where you can order a sample pack for 19.99. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Grace2115 27 Posted October 5, 2015 The Vitamin Shoppe near me also had small sample bags, but not a lot... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cheri02 14 Posted October 5, 2015 Thank you, @@Grace2115! Didn't even know there was a bariatric pantry. Good to have that resource and to know where to get samples. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
catwoman7 11,220 Posted October 5, 2015 you're bound to get a hundred different answers because people's tastes vary so much, but I personally like unjury and Syntrax products. You can get samples of both. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cheri02 14 Posted October 5, 2015 Thank you, @catwoman7. True, about the different answers. But it gives me someplace to start and, hopefully, weeds out anything that might be downright yucky. Lol. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Grace2115 27 Posted October 6, 2015 Omg I have to tell you I just got my Inspire pumpkin pie powder in the mail yesterday, and it's the best yet!! So so yummy!!! I'll be ordering more of these! http://www.bariatriceating.com/product-category/bariatric-protein-powder/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Spiceyfrog 269 Posted October 6, 2015 This seems to be a very common battle. I found a brand called AMP (chocolate) at GNC that I really loved after trying about 6-8 others, but developed really bad gas shortly after I started using it. Come to find out it had something to do with mixing Protein and skim milk and how the emzymes react, etc. So, I switched to Fairlife milk and wouldnt change a thing now! Good luck!

Nessa0121 14 Posted October 7, 2015 Try asking what your hospital will have. Discovering what I'd be stuck with after surgery helped me decide what to have at home Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
